In the event that shares are held jointly by several persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

6.1

Subject to these Articles and the rules or regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange or any relevant securities laws (including, but not limited to U.S. securities law provisions related to insider trading), any Member may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or it nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

6.2

The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor. Without prejudice to the last preceding Article, the Board may also resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by the transferor or transferee to accept mechanically executed transfers.

In the event of any such transfer, the shareholder requesting such transfer shall bear the cost of effecting such transfer unless the Board otherwise determines.

6.5

Unless the Board otherwise agrees (which agreement may be on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board in its absolute discretion may from time to time determine, and which agreement the Board shall, without giving any reason therefore, be entitled in its absolute discretion to give or withhold), no shares upon the Register shall be transferred to any branch register nor shall shares on any branch register be transferred to the Register or any other branch register and all transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration, and registered, in the case of any shares on a branch register, at the relevant Registration Office, and, in the case of any shares on the Register, at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Statute.

6.6

Without limiting the generality of the last preceding Article, the Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless:

(a)

a fee of such maximum sum as the Board may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof;

(b)

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share;

(c)

the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Office or such other place as the Register is kept in accordance with the Statute accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) or such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and

(d)

the instrument of transfer is duly and properly signed.

6.7

If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, it shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of the refusal.

(c)

8.1

Subject to the provisions, if any, in the Articles, the Memorandum of Association and applicable law, including the Statute, all or any of the special rights attached to shares of any class (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied, modified or abrogated with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class at which a quorum is present.

8.2

The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every such general meeting of the holders of one class of shares except that the necessary quorum shall be at least one person holding or representing by proxy at least a majority of the par value of the issued shares of the class.

8.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking in priority to or pari passu therewith.

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

9.1

The Company may in so far as the Statute from time to time permits pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any shares of the Company.

The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

10.1

The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

12.2

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

12.3

A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) calendar days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

LIEN

13.1

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share. The Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) registered in the name of a Member (whether or not jointly with other Members) for all amounts of money presently payable by such Member or his estate to the Company whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any equitable or other interest of any person other than such Member, and whether the period for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such Member or his or her estate and any other person, whether a Member or not. The Company's lien on a share shall extend to all dividends or other moneys payable thereon or in respect thereof. The Board may at any time, generally or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share exempt in whole or in part, from the provisions of this Article.

13.2

Subject to these Articles, the Company may sell in such manner as the Board determines any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, or the liability or engagement in respect of which such lien exists is liable to be presently fulfilled or discharged nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) clear days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable, or specifying the liability or engagement and demanding fulfillment or discharge thereof and giving notice of the intention to sell in default, has been served on the registered holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled thereto by reason of his or her death or bankruptcy.

13.3

The net proceeds of the sale shall be received by the Company and applied in or towards payment or discharge of the debt or liability in respect of which the lien exists, so far as the same is presently payable, and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the share at the time of the sale. To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares so transferred and he or she shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

14.1

Subject to these Articles and to the terms of allotment, the Board may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium), and each Member shall (subject to being given at least fourteen (14) clear days' notice specifying the time and place of payment) pay to the Company as required by such notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be extended, postponed or revoked in whole or in part as the Board determines but no Member shall be entitled to any such extension, postponement or revocation except as a matter of grace and favour.

14.2

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorizing the call was passed and may be made payable either in one lump sum or by installments.

14.3

A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls and installments due in respect thereof or other moneys due in respect thereof.

14.4

If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty percent (20%) per annum) as the Board may determine, but the Board may in its absolute discretion waive payment of such interest wholly or in part.

14.5

No Member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or to be present and vote (save as proxy for another Member) at any general meeting either personally or by proxy, or be reckoned in a quorum, or exercise any other privilege as a Member until all calls or installments due by him to the Company, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) shall have been paid.

14.6

On the trial or hearing of any action or other proceedings for the recovery of any money due for any call, it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register of Members as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book, and that notice of such call was duly given to the Member sued, in pursuance of these Articles; and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call, nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.

14.7

Any amount payable in respect of a share upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an installment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for payment and if it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

14.8

On the issue of shares, the Board may differentiate between the allottees or holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

14.9

The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, and either in money or money's worth, all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid or installments payable upon any shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (if any) as the Board may decide. The Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such Member not less than one (1) month's notice of its intention in that behalf, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have been called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced. Such payment in advance shall not entitle the holder of such share or shares to participate in respect thereof in a dividend subsequently declared.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

15.1

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Board may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days' notice:

(a)

requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and which may still accrue up to the date of actual payment; and

(b)

stating that if the notice is not complied with the shares on which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share but not actually paid before the forfeiture.

15.3

When any share has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served upon the person who was before forfeiture the holder of the share. No forfeiture shall be invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice.

15.4

The Board may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder and, in such case, references in these Articles to forfeiture will include surrender.

15.5

Any share so forfeited shall be deemed the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of to such person, upon such terms and in such manner as the Board determines, and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be annulled by the Board on such terms as the Board determines.

15.6

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares but nevertheless shall remain liable to pay the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, with (if the Directors shall in their discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty percent (20%) per annum) as the Board determines. The Board may enforce payment thereof if it thinks fit, and without any deduction or allowance for the value of the forfeited shares, at the date of forfeiture, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the shares. For the purposes of this Article any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, is payable thereon at a fixed time which is subsequent to the date of forfeiture, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall notwithstanding that time has not yet arrived be deemed to be payable at the date of forfeiture, and the same shall become due and payable immediately upon the forfeiture, but interest thereon shall only be payable in respect of any period between the said fixed time and the date of actual payment.

15.7

A declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share, and such declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer by the Company if necessary) constitute a good title to the share, and the person to whom the share is disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any), nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share. When any share shall have been forfeited, notice of the declaration shall be given to the Member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the register, but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or make any such entry.

15.8

Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid the Board may at any time, before any shares so forfeited shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, permit the shares forfeited to be bought back upon the terms of payment of all calls and interest due upon and expenses incurred in respect of the share, and upon such further terms (if any) as it thinks fit.

15.9

The forfeiture of a share shall not prejudice the right of the Company to any call already made or installment payable thereon.

15.10

The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

16.1

Subject to these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

16.2

Subject to these Articles, including Article 4.1, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)

consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares, provided that any fractions of a share that result from such a consolidation or division of its share capital shall be automatically repurchased by the Company (i) at the Market Price on the date of such consolidation or division, in the case of any shares listed on a Designated Stock Exchange and (ii) at a price to be agreed between the Company and the applicable Member in the case of any shares not listed on a Designated Stock Exchange;

(b)

sub-divide its existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived;

(c)

divide shares into multiple classes; or

(d)

cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

16.3

Subject to these Articles, the Company may by Special Resolution:

(a)

change its name;

(b)

alter or add to these Articles;

(c)

alter or add to the Memorandum of Association with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; or

(d)

reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.

16.4

Except as otherwise provided by the Directors pursuant to Article 4.1, all new shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the shares in the original share capital.

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

17.1

For the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or those Members that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Member for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period but not to exceed in any case sixty (60) calendar days. If the Register of Members shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Members such register shall be so closed for at least ten (10) calendar days (but not more than sixty (60) calendar days) immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register of Members, which such date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Directors. The Directors shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at least ten (10) days before every general meeting, a complete list of the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each Member and the number of shares registered in the name of each Member. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Member, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Member who is present.

17.2

In lieu of or apart from closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Members and for the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety (90) calendar days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date of such determination.

17.3

If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Members entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Members or those Members that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the record date for such determination of Members shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. When a determination of those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

GENERAL MEETINGS

Any dividend unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. The payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend or other sums payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

The Board shall establish an account to be called the "Share Premium Account" and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share in the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of these Articles, the Board may apply the share premium account in any manner permitted by the Statute and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange.

The Board shall be entitled to release or disclose any information in its possession, custody or control regarding the Company or its affairs to any of its members including, without limitation, information contained in the Register of Members and transfer books of the Company.

INDEMNITY

40.1

The Company shall indemnify every Director and officer of the Company or any predecessor to the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company or any predecessor to the Company, and may indemnify any person (other than current and former Directors and officers) (any such Director, officer or other person, an "Indemnified Person"), out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. Each Member agrees to waive any claim or right of action he or she might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Director on account of any action taken by such Director, or the failure of such Director to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for the Company; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or wilful default which may attach to such Director.

40.2

The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

40.3

The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

40.4

Neither any amendment nor repeal of the Articles set forth under this heading of "INDEMNITY" (the "Indemnification Articles"), nor the adoption of any provision of the Company's Articles or Memorandum of Association inconsistent with the Indemnification Articles, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the Indemnification Articles, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for these Indemnification Articles, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

FINANCIAL YEAR

41.1

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on December 31st in each year and shall begin on January 1st in each year.

WINDING UP

42.1

If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors' claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any shares, including the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares set forth in Section B.5 of Exhibit A, in a winding up:

(a)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company's issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them; or

(b)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company's issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

42.2

If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any shares and with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND NAME OF COMPANY

43.1

Subject to the provisions, if any, in the Articles, the Memorandum of Association and applicable law, including the Statute, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter, amend, change or repeal these Articles or the Memorandum of Association of the Company, in whole or in part, or change the name of the Company.

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

(a)

Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any class or series of shares of the Company ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders Series A Preferred Shares, in preference to the holders of any class or series of shares of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Shares in respect thereof, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and December, in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a Series A Preferred Share, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in Ordinary Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Ordinary Shares, since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a Series A Preferred Share. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be 1,000. In the event the Company shall at any time after the date upon which the Memorandum is filed with the Registrar of Companies (i) declare and pay any dividend on Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Ordinary Shares or (iii) combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares, outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares, that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(b)

The Company shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Shares as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Ordinary Shares (other than a dividend payable in Ordinary Shares).

(c)

Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding Series A Preferred Shares from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such Series A Preferred Shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Shares entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Shares entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Voting Rights. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the following voting rights:

(a)

Each Series A Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the Members.

(b)

Except as required by law, by this Section B.2 and by Section B.9 of this Exhibit A, holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Memorandum) for taking any corporate action.

(c)

If, at the time of any general meeting of Members for the election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on any Series A Preferred Shares are in default, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Company shall be increased automatically by two. In addition to voting together with the holders of Ordinary Shares for the election of other directors of the Company, the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class to the exclusion of the holders of Ordinary Shares, shall be entitled at said meeting of Members (and at each subsequent annual meeting of Members), unless all dividends in arrears on the Series A Preferred Shares have been paid or declared and set apart for payment prior thereto, to vote for the election of two directors of the Company, the holders of any Series A Preferred Shares being entitled to cast a number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Shares as is specified in Section B.2(a). Each such additional director shall serve until the next general meeting of Members for the election of directors, or until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, or until his right to hold such office terminates pursuant to the provisions of this Section B.2(c). Until the default in payments of all dividends which permitted the election of said directors shall cease to exist, any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to the provisions of this Section B.2(c) may be removed at any time, without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares at the time entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of any such director at a special meeting of such holders called for that purpose, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the vote of such holders. If and when such default shall cease to exist, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends. Upon the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the terms of office of all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to said special voting rights shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced automatically by two.

(i)

declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Shares;

(ii)

declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Shares, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Shares and all such parity shares on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

(iii)

purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Series A Preferred Shares, or any shares ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of Series A Preferred Shares, or to such holders and holders of any such shares ranking on a parity therewith, upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(b)

The Company shall not permit any subsidiary of the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of the Company unless the Company could, under Section B.3(a), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Reacquired Shares. Any Series A Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever shall be retired promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their retirement become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to any conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a)

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, voluntary or otherwise, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of the Company ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have received an amount per share (the "Series A Liquidation Preference") equal to the greater of (i) $10.00 plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, or (ii) the Adjustment Number times the per share amount of all cash and other property to be distributed in respect of the Ordinary Shares upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

(b)

In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other classes and series of shares of the Company, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares in respect thereof, then the assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

(c)

Neither the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity nor the merger or consolidation of any other entity into or with the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company within the meaning of this Section 6.

Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case the Company shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding Ordinary Shares are exchanged for or changed into other shares or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each Series A Preferred Share shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each Ordinary Share is changed or exchanged.

No Redemption. The Series A Preferred Shares shall not be subject to redemption by the Company.

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Shares shall rank junior to all other series of the Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Ordinary Shares as to such matters.

Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Memorandum or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the shares of this Company required by law or by the Memorandum, at any time that any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Memorandum shall not be amended. by merger, consolidation or otherwise, which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class.

Fractional Shares. Series A Preferred Shares may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Shares.

The Plan was originally adopted by the Board and effective on October 22, 2013, although no awards were granted prior to the Registration Date. The Plan as most recently amended and restated was adopted by the Board on February 14, 2023 and shall be effective on the Restatement Effective Date in accordance with Section 16.1. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications, and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to shareholder interests through increased share ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for the following Awards: (i) Options (which may constitute ISOs or NSOs), (ii) SARs, (iii) Restricted Shares, (iv) Share Units and (v) Performance Cash Awards.

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands (except its choice-of-law provisions).

ARTICLE II. ADMINISTRATION.

2.1 General. The Plan may be administered by the Board or one or more Committees. Each Committee shall have the authority and be responsible for such functions as have been assigned to it. To the extent permitted by law, a Committee may delegate to one or more of its members, to one or more officers of the Company, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee, the subcommittee, or any person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee, the subcommittee or such person may have under this Plan.

2.2 Section 16. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be approved by the entire Board or a Committee of two or more “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

2.3 Powers of Administrator. Subject to the terms of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority to (a) select the Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) determine whether and to what extent any performance goals have been attained, (d) interpret the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, (e) make, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, including rules relating to sub-plans established for the purposes of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws, (f) impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant of any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to an Award, including restrictions under an insider trading policy and restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales, and (g) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan.

2.4 Effect of Administrator’s Decisions. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants and any other holders of Awards.

ARTICLE III. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

3.1 Basic Limitation. Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 11 and the share counting provisions in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to Share Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed 26,032,129 shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available such number of Ordinary Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

3.2 Share Counting. If Restricted Shares or Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of Options under the Plan are forfeited (or surrendered as a matter of Cayman Islands law) or repurchased, then such Ordinary Shares shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Share Units, Options or SARs under the Plan are forfeited (or surrendered as a matter of Cayman Islands law), settled in cash (in whole or in part) or terminate for any other reason before being exercised or settled in full, then the corresponding Ordinary Shares shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Ordinary Shares (if any) actually issued to the Participant in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available under Article 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Ordinary Shares applied to pay the Exercise Price of Options or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to any Award shall thereafter be available for issuance under the Plan. To the extent that an Award is settled in cash rather than Ordinary Shares, the cash settlement shall not reduce the number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

3.3 Shares Subject to Substituted Awards. The number of Ordinary Shares subject to Substitute Awards granted by the Company shall not reduce the number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under Section 3.1, nor shall shares subject to Substitute Awards again be available for Awards under the Plan to the extent of any forfeiture (or surrender as a matter of Cayman Islands law), expiration or cash settlement as provided under Section 3.2. Additionally, to the extent permitted by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) or any successor thereto, in the event that a company acquired by the Company, a Subsidiary or any Affiliate or with which the Company, a Subsidiary or any Affiliate combines has shares available for awards or grants under one or more pre-existing plans not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination and previously approved by the acquired entity’s shareholders, then, to the extent determined by the Administrator, the shares available for award or grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan(s) (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to holders of the securities of the entities that are parties to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Share Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under Section 3.1; provided however, that Share Awards using such shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of such pre-existing plan(s), absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing service to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

3.4 Certain Share Limits. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 11:

(a) No more than 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs; and

(b) The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares subject to Options and SARs that may be granted under this Plan during any fiscal year to any one Outside Director shall not exceed 228,571. The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares subject to Share Awards other than Options and SARs that may be granted under this Plan during any fiscal year to any one Outside Director shall not exceed 228,571.

ARTICLE IV. ELIGIBILITY.

4.1 ISOs. Only Employees who are common-law employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding shares of the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the requirements set forth in section 422(c)(5) of the Code are satisfied.

4.2 Other Grants. Awards other than ISOs may only be granted to Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants.

ARTICLE V. OPTIONS.

5.1 Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

5.2 Number of Shares. Each Option Agreement shall specify the number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 11.

5.3 Exercise Price. Each Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date of grant nor shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of an Ordinary Share. This Section 5.3 shall not apply to an Option that is a Substitute Award granted in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A, 424(a) and/or 457A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

5.4 Exercisability and Term. Each Option Agreement shall specify the date or event when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. Such date or event may be determined by the satisfaction of performance conditions established by the Administrator. An Option Agreement may provide for the automatic exercise of the Option. The Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an Option shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. An Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of a Change in Control, the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited.

5.5 Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, including the limitations in Section 5.6, the Administrator may modify, extend or assume outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

5.6 No Repricing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, (i) reduce the Exercise Price of any previously granted Option, (ii) cancel any previously granted Option in exchange for cash or another award if the Exercise Price of such Option exceeds the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date of such cancellation, or (iii) take any other action with respect to an Option that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, in each case, other than in connection with a Change in Control or the adjustment provisions set forth in Article 11.

5.7 Buyout Provisions. Within the limitations of the Plan, including the limitations in Section 5.6, the Administrator may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish.

ARTICLE VI. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.

6.1 General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time such Ordinary Shares are purchased, except that the Administrator at its sole discretion may accept payment of the Exercise Price in any other form(s) described in this Article 6. However, if the Optionee is an Outside Director or executive officer of the Company, he or she may pay the Exercise Price in a form other than cash or cash equivalents only to the extent permitted by section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

6.2 Surrender of Shares. With the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Ordinary Shares that are already owned by the Optionee. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, such surrender shall take effect as a repurchase if such Ordinary Shares that are already owned by the Optionee in consideration for the issue by the Company to the Optionee of the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options. Such Ordinary Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date the new Ordinary Shares are purchased under the Plan.

6.3 Exercise/Sale. With the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Ordinary Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

6.4 Exercise/Pledge. With the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to pledge all or part of the Ordinary Shares being purchased under the Plan to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company.

6.5 Net Exercise. With the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid through a net exercise procedure.

6.6 Promissory Note. To the extent permitted by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, with the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note.

6.7 Other Forms of Payment. With the Administrator’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

ARTICLE VII. SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

7.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of an SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by an SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

7.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Ordinary Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 11.

7.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date of grant nor shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of an Ordinary Share. The preceding sentence shall not apply to an SAR that is a Substitute Award granted in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A, 424(a) and/or 457A of the Code, to the extent applicable. An SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.

7.4 Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR; provided that the term of a SAR shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. An SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of a Change in Control, the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. An SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

7.5 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of an SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Ordinary Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Ordinary Shares and cash, as the Administrator shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Ordinary Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date an SAR expires, the Exercise Price under such SAR is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.

7.6 Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, including the limitations in Section 7.7, the Administrator may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

7.7 No Repricing. The Administrator shall not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, (i) reduce the Exercise Price of any previously granted SAR, (ii) cancel any previously granted SAR in exchange for cash or another award if the Exercise Price of such SAR exceeds the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date of such cancellation, or (iii) take any other action with respect to a SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, in each case, other than in connection with a Change in Control or the adjustment provisions set forth in Article 11.

7.8 Buyout Provisions. Within the limitations of the Plan, including the limitations in Section 7.7, the Administrator may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an SAR previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an SAR previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish.

ARTICLE VIII. RESTRICTED SHARES.

8.1 Restricted Share Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Share Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

8.2 Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Administrator may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, property, full-recourse promissory notes, past services, future services and such other methods of payment as are permitted by applicable laws, regulations and rules. If the Participant is an Outside Director or executive officer of the Company, he or she may pay for Restricted Shares with a promissory note only to the extent permitted by section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may accept the cancellation of outstanding options in return for the grant of Restricted Shares.

8.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Administrator may include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified performance period equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Administrator. The Administrator shall determine such performance. Such target shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A or such other criteria selected by the Administrator. A Restricted Share Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control, the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events.

8.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other shareholders. A Restricted Share Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Cash dividends with respect to any Restricted Shares and any other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to Restricted Shares shall be accumulated, shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such cash, shares or other property has been distributed and shall be paid at the time such restrictions and risk of forfeiture lapse.

ARTICLE IX. SHARE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE CASH AWARDS.

9.1 Share Unit Agreement. Each grant of Share Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Share Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Share Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Share Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Share Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation.

9.2 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Share Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

9.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Share Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Share Unit Agreement. The Administrator may include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified performance period equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Administrator. The Administrator shall determine such performance. Such target shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A or such other criteria selected by the Administrator. A Share Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a Change in Control, the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events.

9.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Share Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Share Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Administrator’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Ordinary Share while the Share Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Share Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Ordinary Shares, or in a combination of both. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividend equivalents with respect to any Share Units shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Share Units to which they attach.

9.5 Form and Time of Settlement of Share Units. Settlement of vested Share Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Ordinary Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. The actual number of Share Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Share Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Share Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Share Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Share Units is settled, the number of such Share Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 11.

9.6 Death of Recipient. Any Share Units that become payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of Share Units under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Share Units that become payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.

9.7 Modification or Assumption of Share Units. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding share units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding share units (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new share units for the same or a different number of shares or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a Share Unit shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair his or her rights or obligations under such Share Unit.

9.8 Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Share Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Share Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Share Unit Agreement.

9.9 Performance Cash Awards. A Performance Cash Award is a cash award that may be granted upon the attainment of certain performance goals for a specified performance period. The Administrator shall determine such performance. The goals applicable to a Performance Cash Award shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A or such other criteria selected by the Administrator. Each Performance Cash Award shall be set forth in a written agreement or in a resolution duly adopted by the Administrator which shall contain provisions determined by the Administrator and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of various Performance Cash Awards need not be identical. The Administrator may determine, at the time of granting a Performance Cash Award or thereafter, that all or part of such Performance Cash Award shall become earned and payable in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control before the Participant’s service terminates or as otherwise determined by the Administrator in special circumstances.

ARTICLE X. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

10.1 Effect of Change in Control. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise in an Option Agreement, SAR Agreement, Restricted Share Agreement or Share Unit Agreement, in the event of any Change in Control, each outstanding Share Award shall automatically accelerate so that each such Share Award shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become fully vested and exercisable for all of the Ordinary Shares at the time subject to such Share Award and may be exercised for any or all of those fully-vested Ordinary Shares. However, an outstanding Share Award shall not so accelerate if and to the extent such Share Award is, in connection with the Change in Control, either to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable award from the successor corporation (or parent thereof). The determination of award comparability shall be made by the Administrator, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

10.2 Acceleration. The Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the Share Award is granted or at any time while the Share Award remains outstanding, to provide for the automatic acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not the Share Award is to be assumed or replaced in the Change in Control, or in connection with a termination of a Participant’s service preceding or following a Change in Control.

ARTICLE XI. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

11.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Ordinary Shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, corresponding adjustments shall automatically be made in each of the following:

(a) The number and kind of shares available for issuance under Article 3, including the numerical share limitations in Section 3.1 and 3.4;

(b) The number and kind of shares covered by each outstanding Option, SAR and Share Unit; and

(c) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR, and the repurchase price, if any, applicable to outstanding Restricted Shares.

In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Ordinary Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Ordinary Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Administrator shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of the foregoing. Any adjustment in the number of and kind of shares subject to a Share Award under this Section 11.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, although the Administrator in its sole discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. Except as provided in this Article 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of shares of any class or securities convertible into shares of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, the payment of any share dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class.

11.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Share Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

11.3 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or a Change in Control (other than one described in Section 17.6(c)), all outstanding Share Awards shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive transaction agreement (or, in the event the transaction does not entail a definitive agreement to which the Company is party, in the manner determined by the Administrator, with such determination having final and binding effect on all parties), which agreement or determination need not treat all Share Awards (or portions thereof) in an identical manner. The treatment specified in the transaction agreement or by the Administrator shall include (without limitation) one or more of the following with respect to each outstanding Share Award:

(a) The continuation of such outstanding Share Award by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity).

(b) The assumption of such outstanding Share Award by the surviving entity or its parent (with respect to Options and SARs, in a manner that complies with applicable tax requirements).

(c) The substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of an equivalent award for such outstanding Share Award (with respect to Options and SARs, in a manner that complies with applicable tax requirements), including (but not limited to) an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares in the transaction.

(d) Full exercisability of such outstanding Share Award and full vesting of the Ordinary Shares subject to such Share Award, followed by the cancellation of such Share Award. The full exercisability of such Share Award and full vesting of the Ordinary Shares subject to such Share Award may be contingent on the closing of the transaction. The Participant shall be able to exercise such Share Award during a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of such transaction, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of such transaction and (ii) such shorter period still offers the Participant a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Share Award. Any exercise of such Share Award during such period may be contingent on the closing of such transaction.

(e) The cancellation of such outstanding Share Award and a payment to the Participant with respect to each Ordinary Share subject to the Share Award as of the transaction date equal to the excess of (i) the value, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of an Ordinary Share as a result of the transaction over (ii) if applicable, the per-share Exercise Price of the Share Award (such excess, the “Spread”). Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving entity or its parent with a value equal to the Spread. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Participant’s continuing service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Participant than the schedule under which such Share Award would have become exercisable or such Ordinary Shares would have vested. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the transaction agreement may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. If the Spread applicable to a Share Award is zero or a negative number, then such Share Award may be cancelled without making a payment to the Participant. In the event that a Share Unit is subject to Code Section 409A, the payment described in this clause (e) shall be made on the settlement date specified in the applicable Share Unit Agreement, provided that settlement may be accelerated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

(f) The assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of an award of Restricted Shares to the surviving entity or its parent, with corresponding proportionate adjustments made to the price per share to be paid upon exercise of any such reacquisition or repurchase rights.

Any action taken under this Section 11.3 shall either preserve a Share Award’s status as exempt from Code Section 409A and/or 457A (as applicable) or comply with Code Section 409A and/or 457A (as applicable).

ARTICLE XII. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.

The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Ordinary Shares issued under this Plan. Such Ordinary Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Ordinary Shares issued in settlement of Share Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Ordinary Shares available under Article 3.

ARTICLE XIII. PAYMENT OF FEES IN SECURITIES.

13.1 Effective Date. No provision of this Article 13 shall be effective unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.

13.2 Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Share Units. An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or Share Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Share Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Article 13 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.

13.3 Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Share Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Share Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers or meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The Board shall also determine the terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Share Units.

ARTICLE XIV. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

14.1 No Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the service of any Employee, Outside Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s articles of association and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any).

14.2 Shareholders’ Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time that a Participant is listed on the register of members of the Company as the holder of such Ordinary Shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

14.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Ordinary Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Ordinary Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Ordinary Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed necessary by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Ordinary Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Ordinary Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

14.4 Transferability of Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of an Award in a manner consistent with applicable law. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards shall be transferable by a Participant only by (a) beneficiary designation, (b) a will or (c) the laws of descent and distribution. An ISO may only be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

14.5 Recoupment of Awards. All Awards granted under the Plan, all amounts paid under the Plan and all Ordinary Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to recoupment in accordance with The Dodd — Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations and/or listing standards thereunder, any compensation recovery policy adopted by the Company or as otherwise required by applicable law.

ARTICLE XV. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

15.1 General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Ordinary Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan unless such obligations are satisfied.

15.2 Share Withholding. To the extent that applicable law subjects a Participant to tax withholding obligations, the Administrator may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Ordinary Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Ordinary Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date they are withheld or surrendered.

15.3 Section 409A and 457A Matters. Except as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, it is intended that Awards granted under the Plan either be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the terms of the Plan, the Award and any written agreement governing the Award shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code so that the Award is not subject to additional tax or interest under Section 409A, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise. An Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order for it to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In this regard, if any amount under an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code is payable upon a “separation from service” to an individual who is considered a “specified employee” (as each term is defined under Section 409A of the Code), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Except as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, it is intended that Awards granted

under the Plan be exempt from Section 457A of the Code.

ARTICLE XVI. FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

Appendix A

Performance Criteria and Other Terms and Conditions Relating to

certain Restricted Shares, Share Units and Performance Cash Awards

If the Administrator determines that an Award of Restricted Shares or Share Units or a Performance Cash Award is intended to be subject to this Appendix A, the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, Ordinary Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, may be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Administrator, which may be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following: share price; net sales; revenue; revenue growth or product revenue growth; operating income (before or after taxes); pre- or after-tax income or loss (before or after allocation of corporate overhead and bonus); earnings or loss per share; net income or loss (before or after taxes); return on equity; total shareholder return; return on assets or net assets; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the Ordinary Shares or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; net profits; earnings or losses (including earnings or losses before taxes, before interest and taxes, or before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); economic value-added models or equivalent metrics; comparisons with various stock market indices; reductions in costs; cash flow or cash flow per share (before or after dividends); return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital); cash flow return on investment; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or working capital levels, including cash, inventory and accounts receivable; operating margin; gross margin; year-end cash; cash margin; debt reduction; shareholders equity; operating efficiencies; market share; customer satisfaction; customer growth; employee satisfaction; drug discovery or development milestones; regulatory achievements (including submitting or filing applications or other documents with regulatory authorities, successfully executing an advisory committee meeting or similar proceeding, or receiving approval of any such applications or other documents and passing pre-approval inspections (whether of the Company or the Company’s third-party manufacturer) and validation of manufacturing processes (whether the Company’s or the Company’s third-party manufacturer); initiation or completion of pre-clinical studies; clinical achievements (including initiating clinical studies; initiating enrollment, completing enrollment or enrolling particular numbers of subjects in clinical studies; completing phases of a clinical study (including the treatment phase); or announcing or presenting preliminary or final data from clinical studies; in each case, whether on particular timelines or generally); strategic partnerships, research joint ventures, licenses, collaborations or comparable transactions (including in- licensing and out-licensing of intellectual property; establishing relationships with commercial entities with respect to the marketing, distribution and sale of the Company’s products or development candidates (including with group purchasing organizations, distributors and other vendors)); supply chain achievements (including establishing relationships with manufacturers or suppliers of component materials and manufacturers of the Company’s products or development candidates); co-development, co-marketing, profit sharing, joint venture or other similar arrangements; financial ratios, including those measuring liquidity, activity, profitability or leverage; cost of capital or assets under management; financing and other capital raising transactions (including sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities; factoring transactions; royalty monetizations, sales or licenses of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property, whether in a particular jurisdiction or territory or globally; or through partnering transactions); implementation, completion or attainment of measurable objectives with respect to research (including pre- clinical achievements, nominating a development candidate or initiating a new full discovery program), development, manufacturing (including initiating formulation or device development work or finalizing API or drug product processes), commercialization, development candidates, products or projects, safety, production volume levels, acquisitions and divestitures; factoring transactions; and recruiting and maintaining personnel; or any other financial or business measures as may be determined by the Administrator. In the areas of development, regulatory progress and commercialization, the achievements described above performed by a third party with which the Company has a licensing or collaborative agreement (a “Partner”), or relating to an asset in which the Company has an economic interest, shall apply to the Company. For example, if a Partner accomplishes development milestones, regulatory achievements, commercialization or sales targets with an asset within a program that is a subject of the licensing or collaboration agreement between the Company and the Partner, then such Partner’s accomplishments shall constitute achievements of the Company. Similarly, if an asset in which the Company has an economic interest, which asset is controlled by a third party, achieves development milestones, regulatory achievements, commercialization or sales targets, then such third party’s accomplishments with such asset shall constitute achievements of the Company. Such performance goals also may be based solely by reference to the Company’s performance or the performance of a Subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. If the Administrator determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render the applicable performance goals unsuitable or requires an adjustment to the performance goals or achievement with respect to the performance goals, the Administrator may in its discretion modify such performance goals or the actual levels of achievement regarding the performance goals, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable. Without limiting the foregoing, in calculating results under any performance criterion, the Administrator may provide for exclusion of the impact of an event or occurrence which the Administrator determines should appropriately be excluded, including, but not limited to: (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (c) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (d) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (e) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items.
